Reached a contract! Congratulations to Venus Westbrook for successfully returning to the NBA.

5:31am, 16 October 2025【Basketball】

Come out after being called out for a long time!

Signed, signed! David Westbrook finally signed! Just now, NBA history triple-double king Russell Westbrook finally signed a new NBA contract. At this point, this means that we will be able to see Venus Westbrook playing in the NBA in the new season!

So, I urge those who like Westbrook to stop sleeping and get up quickly and get restless, because your idol has really returned to the NBA!

On October 16, according to well-known ESPN reporter Shams, completely free agent and guard Russell Westbrook has agreed to sign with the Sacramento Kings.

Subsequently, NBA reporter Brett Siegel followed up with a report that Russell Westbrook signed a one-year veteran's minimum salary contract with the Sacramento Kings. With Venus Westbrook officially returning to the NBA, he will start the 18th season of his career as a Kings player in the new season.

From refusing to exercise his player option for next season and leaving the Denver Nuggets on June 13 this year, to successfully signing with the Sacramento Kings today, the historical triple-double king finally settled on a new home after more than four months of suffering. It can be said that it is not easy! So much so that it once seemed that Westbrook was really going to leave the league quietly and end his NBA career. Fortunately, the Sacramento Kings chose to offer Westbrook an olive branch just as the regular season opener was about to begin, thus bringing the historical triple-double king back to the NBA.

It is reported that Westbrook has been in contact with the Sacramento Kings management throughout the offseason, and the two parties have continued to communicate while the Kings are looking for point guard depth. Finally, after the unremitting efforts of both parties, the signing cooperation was officially reached today!

Although Westbrook is no one interested in the free market this summer, the Kings management is convinced that Westbrook is the best candidate for the team's backup point guard. Westbrook will be the first backup point guard for new aid Schroeder in the new season. It is particularly worth mentioning that this is also the third time Westbrook has been teammates with Schroeder. The two had been teammates when they played for the Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Lakers.

In the 2024-25 season, Russell Westbrook played 75 regular season games on behalf of the Denver Nuggets, averaging 27.9 minutes per game, scoring 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.5 blocks, shooting 44.9% from the field, 32.3% from the three-point range, and 66.1% from the free throw line.

In 13 playoff games, he averaged 24.1 minutes per game, contributing 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.1 blocks. He shot 39.1% from the field, 31.7% from the three-point range, and 70% from the free throw line. There is no doubt that Westbrook still has gas in the tank, and he is fully capable of competing in the NBA.

Although today's Westbrook is no longer the Megatron of the Mega League back then, he can no longer easily score 30+ triple-doubles, and sometimes he may even suddenly lose power! But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. This is probably the fundamental reason why the Kings have always wanted to sign Westbrook to be the team's first backup point guard, because Westbrook can provide the Kings' bench with the much-needed energy!

It is particularly worth mentioning that in order to find an opportunity to continue playing in the NBA, Westbrook even gave up a multi-million-dollar invitation contract from the Chinese Professional League.

Congratulations to David Westbrook for winning the King's contract! I hope that Venus Westbrook, who has successfully returned to the NBA, can shine in Sacramento in the new season and become the best player on the team's bench! Come on, David Westbrook!
